Turn Zillow into a REST + MCP endpoint

Writ turns the Zillow actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

No Zillow API yet? Build one in minutes

Record the Zillow task once (search an area, then open a listing) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on Zillow to ship an API.

  1. 1
    Record the Zillow task once

    Open the recorder and search an area on Zillow in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.

  2. 2
    Publish it as an endpoint

    One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/zillow/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    Call Zillow from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.

Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.

gap ▸ no public api 02
03
why

Zillow doesn't give you the endpoint you need

Zillow has no general public API for the storefront actions most teams need. Zillow retired its public API for most listing data; there is no general API for the search and listing detail data agents commonly need.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Zillow task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/zillow/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

What you can call on Zillow

Each operation below is a real Zillow action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.

{ }search an area
{ }open a listing
{ }extract listing fields
{ }page through results

Returns structured fields such as list price, beds/baths, square footage, days on market: typed JSON, not raw page text.

the hard web

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Zillow

The reason Zillow has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.

Most Zillow listing data is public, so no login is required; Writ renders the page in real Chromium to capture data that loads dynamically.

Three ways to build your Zillow endpoint

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.

Record itOpen the recorder, search an area on Zillow once in a real browser, and Writ captures every step into a workflow.
Describe itTell an AI session your goal on Zillow in plain language, and it drives the page to build the workflow for you.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Zillow's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.

Trigger your Zillow endpoint on a change

Monitor Zillow for new listing, price change, status change to pending and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor Zillow ▸

run it

Free on your own machine, or on cloud

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Zillow even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

Zillow API questions

Does Zillow have an API?
Zillow has no general public API for the storefront actions most teams need. Zillow retired its public API for most listing data; there is no general API for the search and listing detail data agents commonly need. Writ gives you a callable /v1/zillow/run endpoint that runs the real Zillow flow in a browser and returns structured JSON.
Is there a ready-made Zillow API I can use?
Record the Zillow task once in the recorder (search an area, then open a listing) or describe it to an AI session. Writ turns it into a callable REST endpoint and MCP tool. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Zillow this way?
Collect Zillow data you have the right to access and respect Zillow's Terms of Service and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does this work with Zillow login and 2FA?
Most Zillow listing data is public, so no login is required; Writ renders the page in real Chromium to capture data that loads dynamically. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the endpoint runs inside your own authenticated session.
Can I run it on my own machine?
Yes. Run it on a local or BYO agent for no compute charge — useful when Zillow is only reachable from your own network or VPN, and free on every plan. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage.
